The V-170 is the only DD I kept, because it's fun. So I finally got concealment expert back. I usually do fine in this ship, even without it. But I was salivating at the thought of going from 6.1 km down to 5.5 km detection, and all the fun I was going to have, sneaking in, launching fish, and sneaking out. So what does MM do? The first 3 games with my newly restored stealth I end up in matches with 2 CVs per team, and get gang banged because multiple squadrons of planes were making it their sole mission in life to spot me. Prior to getting CE, I would see maybe 1 CV per side every 4-6 matches or so, and almost never 2 per side. Or am I just seeing the new normal, and people are playing more CVs now because they got buffed in an update or something? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First of all, this is the NA server with lots of USN CV fanboyz, second, WG overbuffed midway to become a AP dive-bomber point and click cancer. So...yeah... A lot of people are working their way up the USN CV line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got figured out. Five things you must do. 1. You gotta be premium. The MM god smiles on those with gold wreaths around their ships. 2. Each week you have to buy something no matter how small. 3. Don't ever whine or gripe about MM or WG. That is an insult to them and has reprisals. 4. Once a month buy a simple model ship, get a picture or poster of a ship. Take it outside and destroy it either with gun fire of your choice. You can also burn it or drop bricks on it. Kinda like simulating your method of ship play. 5. Troll forumites who don't bow down to MM. Most important here. This will gain you favor in MMs eyes. Good luck and hope that helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
